New Showbiz Analysis

This film functions as a conventional regional comedy, relying on the 'clash of cultures' cliché between Swabian and Ruhrpott identities. It emphasizes established social archetypes over challenging systemic norms. Tension in the narrative arises from professional and regional conflicts rather than identity-based issues. The story centers on a traditional male-dominated hierarchy and a standard nuclear family structure.

Official Synopsis

Two worlds collide when the thoroughbred Swabian Roland Reuter is transferred to Duisburg by his employer, the bakery Weckle. There he is supposed to bring the downsized company branch back into the black. For the solid employee an immense challenge - not least because his wife Sybille and pubescent daughter at home in the country has remained. Thus, Roland works hard from Monday to Friday to implement Swabian work ethic for his staff, who are endowed with typical Ruhr-pot-serenity.
